In what has become one of the more repulsive trends in baseball this season, the Oakland A’s are battling yet another issue with sewage. A small sewage leak on Tuesday night led to a bit of a mess in the home dugout, and after some heavy rain came down on Oakland on Saturday morning, they found the small mess had turned into a bigger, more disgusting mess. This time, the damage was confined to the coaches’ bathroom, and as A’s reliever Ryan Cookput it, “It was like a sewage volcano.”

The heavy rains are also to blame for the Minnesota Twins possibly being homeless during Saturday’s contest. Twins pitcher Glen Perkins tweeted a picture of their dugout that is underwater, and he estimated there to be about four feet of standing water. The A’s maintain that there’s no sewage component — just a mix of infield dirt and rain water.

Although there was little to cheer about before the game, with an A’s win and a Rangers loss, Oakland will clinch the AL West Division.

Check out tweets from A’s beat writer Susan Slusser describing the scene below, as well as a picture of the visitor’s dugout.

Yes there is sewage flooding the #Athletics coaches' bathroom this morning. Not in the coaches' room. Many jokes from coaches. #Athletics
